There Was no good reason for
the practice Of the Hebrews to read and to
write from right to left. We have often
specula'ei and inquired about it, and
while we cOald not learn any thing very
tangible N regard to it, We are quite con-
WINGED that the most pertinent reason lies
in the fast that our vision from right to left
Is much clearer and stronger than it is
from left 10 right Naturally, so we are
informed, there is no difference in nerves
or in the optic arrangement Of the human
eye between the right or the left eye, Yet
our own inquiries end observations show
clearly that we are all, or most all, dis
posed, when we take an article of mer.
chandise or a picture or any thing else for
examination iatO our hands, to look ut
it from right to left, AMI not from left
to right Since we have endeavored TO
fathOm this question, we can see quite an
advantage to the eye by reading from right
to left. II we read from left TO right the
parts read are yet continually before us;
while, il reading from right to left, the
parts read are then beyond our sight, and
the parts to be read are unobstructed in
view. Now, when we write from left to
right the line we are writing Is rather Of
delusi0n to the eye, while il we write
from right to left nothing is Immediately
in trout Of our vision but clear space.
Our observation shows that unaware, peo-
pie use their eyes from right to left
whenever and wherever they go into
close examination Of any tbing.-He5fep

A GREAT SCIENTIST.

In these days of advanced education
and tar-projected thought, scientific re
search and investigation rivet public
attention. Science is a universal modern
issue, and the world eagerly absorbs the
wonderful developments so closely fol.
lowing each other. The San Francisco
Alta speaks thus OF a great scientist and
his works:
DIR. Alfred r. Wallace, the celebrated
English scientist, who has been lecturing
with great success to large Eastern audi
ences, Will arrive in this State on Nav
ZSd and remain for a few DAYS. DR..
wallace is the most eminent living
naturalist in the world He is the recog-
nlzed authority for the principles of ami
mai distribution on this earth. He
arrived at the conclusion of the evolution
theory, the origin of species and the doc
trlne OF natural selection independently
Of Darwin. By his travels and obserya-
uons on the Amazon and the MaIav
Archepelago, he has acquired a large
fund of personal experience and
information on the habits and pecu-
harities of animal and vegetable life
winch makes his lectures peculiarly
attractlVe and interesting. He has lee
Iured Ior the Lowell Institute, the Pea
pouy institute, the John Hopkins Uni
Eerslty, and many of the colleges of the
Eastern cities, where his lectures have
uniformly given great satisfaction. He

May Path and 26th at Pioneers Hall.
1hese interesting lectures should be fully
attended by the most intelligent audi
ences the city can produce. An oppor-
Iunlty like this is unique and should not
pe neglected. In a report of one of his
lectures at Sioux City, the Daily Journal
OF May 23d says
The large audience last night was treated
TO delightful exposition, in a lucid, COM
pact and beautifully systemized stvle. of
some OF the profoundest results of modern
sclentlho research. Dr.. Wallace's defini
ton OF evolution, and what Darwin's thesis
actually purposes, at one stroke cleared
away a world of false theory falsely i'm
puted to Darwin. He then proceeded to a

mocracy says that it is the best govern
ment which governs least; that the
best government will employ the
smallest number of agents consistent
with the public needs; that it will
select those agents by some easy method
the least likely to interfere with the ordi-
nary pursuits of the people; that it will
diminish the importance OF all subordi-
nate offices, and that it will discourage
ali propositions TO misuse such subordi-
nate offices to the disturbance or detri-
ment of the people, irrespective of polit-
ical preferences. This is Democracy,
pure, simple and undefiled. This is the
voice of the people, earnest, free and
sincere. This is the government, and
these are the results typifed by the Civil
Service reform system of the present
Democratic Administration. To this
Civil-Service reform system Grover Cleve-
land was pledged at the very outset of
his brilliant political career. On the
Clvll-Service platform he was elected
Governor of New York, and on the same
broad and benefcent popular basis rested
his Presidential candidacy. Within a
week after writing to George William
Curtis ''that he had no hesitation in say
ing that he fully approved the principles
embodied In the Pendleton bill" Grover
Cleveland was chosen Governor of the
great State OF New York. His political
record was the open record OF Civil-Ser-
vice reform, and on that open record, he
was elected to the Chief Magistracy of the
Nation. To that record he has been
scrupulously true. His pledges to the
people have been redeemed in every
particular. AS a Civil-Service reform
President the Democracy and people
elected him. As Civil-Service reform
President has he discharged the duties of
his high office.
